Enhancements and Improvements

Description

DeviceHub:

Resolved Issues

Description

DeviceHub:

  • Fixed issue where the Euromap63 (Gen1) driver sometimes failed to read the latest job file, causing it to utilize old historical data.
  • Fixed issue where Mitsubishi Gen2 drivers incorrectly listed hexadecimal registers as decimal.
  • Fixed issue where the ROC800 Ethernet Event register excluded the W&M event's old value in the payload.

Analytics:

  • Fixed issue where the Define connection feature did not allow users to assign custom names when creating Events/Values Connections.

Integrations:

  • Fixed issue where help icons on the Add Cloud Sync Job dialog box displayed information on hover instead of click.
  • Fixed issue where importing topics in one version of MongoDB connector caused the other connector to restart.

OPC UA:

  • Fixed issue where applying a template after enabling the OPC UA server resulted in a not_found: bucket user not found error.

Events:

  • Fixed issue where DeviceHub events incorrectly displayed a deleted tag count of zero after removing all tags from a template.

System:

  • Fixed issue where hovering over help icons in the System > Firewall appeared similar to warning icon hovers.
  • Fixed issue where the auto-activation process in Manufacturing Connect Edge Docker displayed a failed to verify certificate error if the activation request remained pending in Manufacturing Connect.
